Hi Tatay. Hello po!

Hi Tatay. Pang-ilang taon na po ba? Hindi ko na po binibilang… Sorry po kung matagal ko na rin kayong hindi nabibisita. pero mabuti na lang at pinasyalan kayo ng kamukha nyo dyan. Touch din naman ako at nabisita kayo ulit ni utol. Sad din ako dahil hindi ako nakapag-tirik ng kandila para sa iyo. okey lang po yun. baka kami naman next year ang magkakaroon ng chance bumisita sa inyo..until then..

Weekends-worst enemy of a person trying to loose weight

Hmmm..why not just title it as worst time for a person trying to loose weight? I can, but I’m choosing to name it as a third person instead of a period of time…anyways..

Weekends are the worst enemy in terms of dieting. The workdays are easily controlled by packing lunches or just limiting yourself to the salad bar. On the other hand when weekend comes the variety of places you can bring your family are countless!

 Start with the pizza buffet like cici or the all time favorite the chinese buffet where you can pig out like there no tomorrow.
Have you ever been in a japanese buffet? Even worse! The food there is so good you will overstuff yourself just because of the different flavor sensation.
One of the factors that contribute to this weekend binge is that its actually a family affair. Usually after church or after the regular oriental grocery shopping. Sometimes when we go shopping at the mall. I always managed to make an excuse to eat out.

This weekend is the worst ever! I started off on thursday with a lunch buffet with my katrab. At the chinese buffet near our wrk plc then an invitatuion came from a gang of friends for a firday buffet lunch! Fine. But here some saturday with a post wedding invite where the gathering is like a feast by itself! Cool! All my bulate are probably rejoicing right now!

Honey-do-list #637 done! Kitchen Sink Faucet replaced

What the heck! How many honey-do-list do I have?! Lol!  Just kidding!  It’s not that much. I’m just trying to make a point on some of the item on my list that I’m procrastinating.
This particular one is actually the number 1 priority because it is always being used.  So one weekend I just decided to tackle the task and get it over with.
and here’s the end result.

Touching base with relatives

I just got off the phone talking with my cousin.  I had to extend my condolences to her family kasi wala si Kakang C.  Nakausap ko rin si Kuya Amado at katabi pala yung mabait kong kapatid! Mabuti naman.

Sad Day

After my usual morning ritual before going to work i noticed a couple of missed calls on my cell.  I recognized the number and called back…

Tips on this Texas Summer Heat at your house.

We just spent last weekend at the mercy of the summer heat.  The temperature is just around 107F but inside the house especially at the 2nd floor it feels like hell! (not that I have been there for a while!)

So dear people, here are some basic tips on surviving the summer heat and your electric bills.

  • Wind/Fan turbines - those are the ones installed in your attic.  It helps the circulation of hot air and reduces the attic temperature.
  • 78 degrees thermostat setting - Somehow its the magic number for all thermostat setting in the household. Imagine if you have a cathedral ceiling? How long will it take your HVAC to reach the 78 degrees mark? ouch!

A frog inside the house!

frog inside the houseSunday afternoon..we are all feeling lazy and just slumped infront of the tv. My son is getting ready for his executive job at his summer job. My daugther had put his working shoes out on the backyard to air dry it since it stinks and also got a little wet from last nights rain. So when my son picked it up outside and brought it inside the house and started doing other things he came back to his shoes and told us “hey! there’s a frog inside the house!”
We all got startled and the girls started to jump up on the couch. My son and I had to chase the frog from the den to the dining room and finally outside the backyard.
The frog wasn’t hurt or anything..i just swept it out since it’s so stubborn to get out.

Manny Pacquiao wins against Diaz!

Wow! what a fight! This one I enjoyed very much.
The last time I saw him fight I wasn’t impressed cuz’ he seems to be moving slow and out of focus. I thought this fight will be a loss to him but he turned out to be a great sportsman. The way he handled his opponent and the respect he showed. Great boxer this guy Pacquiao!
We usually watch his fight at my house but this time we got invited at a friend’s house and turned out to be a small crowd. Diaz has been a sport too and on his comments after the fight we started dropping those 4-letter words with combinations of some “-ing” too!

One Year Anniversary ni Daddy in advance

Divine Mercy Church at Mesquite but at the chapel..that’s where we had Daddy’s mass. The decision to do the One year death anniversary was due to the upcoming July 4th celebration. Actually my father-in-law passed away on July 4th of last year so a get together was organized in memory of him.
After the mass we all invited the attendees to have lunch with us at a nearby buffet place.
